To use ParaView 5.5 on CentOS 7.4, I downloaded the official binary of stable version v5.5.  
When I started it, I got a message below and it does not start.

Your OpenGL drivers don’t support  
required OpenGL features for basic rendering.  
Application cannot continue. Please exit and use an older version.

CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

OpenGL Vendor: VMware, Inc.  
OpenGL Version: 2.1 Mesa 17.0.1

I think that probably some issue happened around GL, glsl and driver,  
and also I think(hope) if I set up appropriate versions of them, ParaView-5.5 may work.

I could find the versions of ParaView-5.4.0 at:  
[https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView\_Binaries#ParaView-5.4.0](https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Binaries#ParaView-5.4.0)  
it says:

- Qt5 5.8.0
- mpich 3.2 (Linux only)
- Mesa 17.1.1 (Linux only)
- OSPRay 1.3.0
- Python 2.7.3 (Windows); 2.7.11 (Linux)
- numpy 1.8.1

Would you kindly please tell me the appropriate versions of such required components for the ParaView-5.5 ?

Best regards,  
WATANABE

Your VM’s OpenGL drivers don’t support the required features. You can use the binary’s Mesa implementation by passing `--mesa` on the command line.

Hi Ben,  
Thank you for your rapid support.  
now I see --mesa works fine.

Thank you.
